Advantages of Perpendicular Recording
After more than ten years of pioneering research at Seagate, perpendicular recording is now a proven technology. It increases capacity and dependability by storing data vertically, rather
than horizontally. And vertically stored data bits mean increased data density—which means higher performance to increase productivity.
Applications:
Your application needs determine the capacity,
performance and interface requirements of your
drive. The Barracuda 7200.10 drive offers multiple
configurations for a wide range of uses.
